The new No1 Lounge has a capacity of 90 seats and is designed to be a sanctuary away from the busy terminal, featuring a modern and elegant aesthetic that will provide passengers with the perfect environment to relax and unwind before boarding their flight. Guests will have access to a range of amenities including complimentary food served buffet style from purpose-built food service areas and drinks accessible through the bar.  
 
Located near Gate A18 at Terminal 2, the lounge will be available to all passengers flying from Heathrow Terminal 2, providing them with access to a range of amenities. These include TV lounges to unwind, enjoy a refreshing beverage and ease into relaxation with some screen time, a library area to enjoy some peace and quiet along with free, unlimited Wi-Fi and private rooms and meeting spaces for those looking for privacy and peace for important calls or moments of focus.   
 
The seasonal food and beverage selection has been exclusively curated for the new lounge in ‘The Queen’s Terminal’, offering travellers the royal treatment as they wait to board their flight. Featuring premium British products, the menu includes hot and cold dishes freshly prepared in-lounge, alongside a wide selection of freshly baked pastries, wraps and salads.

Care has been taken to ensure the menu caters to those with allergies and dietary requirements while still appealing to all guests. Guests can also enjoy a range of complimentary alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, including beers, wines, spirits and premium mixers such as Fever Tree Tonics.

The new No1 Lounge is accessible to members of Priority Pass, the original and market-leading airport experiences programme and LoungeKey cardholders. Less frequent travellers can opt for the convenience of pre-booking their visit directly via the No1 website at no1lounges.com.
 
The new space joins Club Aspire Lounges at Terminals 3 and 5 and the No1 Lounge inTerminal 3 as the fourth lounge across Heathrow Airport, offering passengers more opportunities to enjoy the premium pre-flight experience offered by No1 Lounges.
 
In the UK, the lounge follows the recent opening of My Lounge at London Luton Airport, highlighting the continued growth of the firm in the UK aviation market and its strong relationship with key commercial partners such as Heathrow Airport.     
 
The partnership (SwissportALD) now operates 15 lounges in the UK, at Birmingham Airport, London Gatwick, London Heathrow and London Luton.

This new lounge reflects our commitment to growth in the UK aviation market, our dedication to supporting airport partners with outstanding services and products and our focus on offering more choice to Priority Pass customers and travellers. I’m confident the team will provide the stylish, premium experience travellers have become used to from No1 Lounges and throughout the Airport Dimensions network.”
 
Rami El-Dahshan, Managing Director of No1 Lounges Ltd commented: “We’re beyond excited to bring the No1 experience to Heathrow Terminal 2.
